I absolutely LOVE Engineer. I played it only to about 13 or so in cDN, so now that I'm playing it for real it's just an incredible class. It seems like there's always violent motion on the screen what with the vast amount of attacks, though it's going to be a hassle at later levels since you get so many attacks.
The vast majority of the Engineer skills are actually passive upgrades to two of the three types of summons that they get.
- upgrades to Alfredo (uses certain abilities with cooldowns, you cannot control when he uses those abilities, except for Alfredo Stomp which is a toggled command)
- Quackums (they use certain attacks with cooldowns, you cannot control when they use said attacks)
- Towers
Even then, I'm now level 28, and I'm having issues with skill bar space and SP distribution...
Seriously, you will not be able to learn all skills as soon as you reach the level requirement for them. Engineer skills take up a ton of SP. To level up Engineer skills, you need to use 4 SP, while other classes only need either 1 or 3 SP to do so.

Most people recommend at least learning the skill, and even getting a skill plate for cooldown. I personally found two Quality plates for Slip-n-Slide, crafted both for -CD, and I ended up selling the other one for 500 gold...
While it might not seem very useful to yourself, keep in mind that the skill is a godsend in a party, especially for Priests and Sharpshooters, who do not have any natural movement skills.
Oh, and it does work on bosses, like the Cleric's Paralyze Bolt. Don't expect it to work on the Nest bosses, though.
